I made a few simple cards for the troops this weekend. I usually make more but instead this time, Im donating some of my crafting things to help. The lovely ladies up in Queensland get together every other month and make cards for the troops but they need supplies so I thought Id add my bits to them this year.

I made these cards for a swap. The criteria was just Z fold card. Ive seen this sort of card on the internet with the heart border and have always wanted to have a go. It is so easy to make too. I embossed the paper first and then added the hearts. I quite like the end result.

I made this page for a challenge over at Sketchy challenge boards on FB. There was a sketch, of course, and autumnal colours. Im not sure I got the colour sorted, green and blue snuck in there. This is my son at the local sandcastles our town hosts every year- he LOVES dragons

Heres a bright page for my son. We visited the Festival of Lights last year and also this year. It was fabulous. My son is a big fan of dragons and so we had to find them amongst all the spectacular lanterns. All the sculptures are made by hand and lit up at night time. This page has hidden journalling.

Thes Flap Fold cards are so simple but so fun to make. The ones Ive made are made from designer paper but you can also make them from card stock. The challenge was to include hearts and to be a thank you card.

Heres the page the girls are making this holidays. I have a few teen girls come by to do a scrapbooking and cards workshop. This one is one I scraplifted from the internet- not sure about the yellow though, dont think it really goes.

Just made this quickly for my Girls craft workshop this holidays. They are making this card along with the 2 teacup and teapot cards I shared recently and they are doing a scrapbooking page that I will share later. I think I need to make the back of this card a bit taller- lol. You can see the greeting. Once again I got to use up some of my scraps and you all know I love to do that lol.

Heres my card for a challenge. It had to pink black and white and have a flamingo on it and there was a sketch. I think I added the green before I remembered the rules- hope it counts. I made the flamingo out a of die cut punch and the stamps are from kaszazz and Kaisercraft

Heres a page I did for a challenge- there was a sketch and a colour pallet. Im not sure I hit the colour pallet correctly. I copied the sketch exactly.This is my eldest in Yr 7 receiving his first award. He is now is Yr 9 and has proudly received many more

I have been making these cute cards today- I LOVE them. I have made them for my card challenge- it had to be a scene - sky and land. It must have an animal and it must be for a birthday. Think I have covered it. If you are interested in making them heres the link Splitcoasters.Compared to the ones shown on the gallery at Splitcoasters mine are very simple. Hope you have fun trying this cute card

Over the weekend I took part in Annas Craft Cupboards 11th party celebrations.There were many games and challenges such as bingo, taking selfies, making party hats, and birthday cards etc.I did some of those but I also did the Cyber blind crop. We were told what we need in supplies a week before we did the blind crop and then were given instructions online. At the end everyone had made the same basic layout by using their own choice of colours etc. It was so much fun. Heres the one I made

These 3 cards are for my sketch challenge. They had to be suitable for an older gentleman and had to be muted tones- there is supposed to be some stripes on there but Im hoping checks will count. All Kaisercraft bits n bobs

Any crafter that knows me well, will know that I have an obsession about keeping every little bit of paper. Once a workshop has finished I can often been found digging around the scraps others have tossed in the trash to rescue them for projects like this.This is such an easy and for me, satisfying thing to do. I buy sheets of double sided paper and lay my strips in pattern. These can be used for backgrounds or made into embellishments.It makes me so happy to see my scraps being used and not just tossed out. The thing is I always seem to have tons of scraps, my pile never diminishes lol.

Superhero Dad- have fond memories of this pic. My son made my hubby his Batman suit ( or as we call it Fatman suit lol) . It was a deal that if he made it for him he would wear it to last years comicon- that meant going on the train and walking through the city- he did it!! My son made his Spiderman suit and my younger son made the sword out of real wood and the holder for it too, which is quite ornate :D

This is a page I scraplifted and adapted for my own use. Its for the RSPCA paws for walk that we do every year. We got 2 of our dogs at the shelter and they have turned out to be fab dogs. Our little Jack Russell we got after friends decided they didnt want her anymore- needless to say they arent friends any more.Sadly she is now 13 and has cancer and we are now deciding what is best for her. Its a hard decision for anyone but when the kids love her so, its even harder.
